Lemon and Coconut Ice Cream Sandwiches

May 7, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 25 Comments

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Today I bring for a quick little summery ice cream treat that is sure to please the palate of everyone, especially me!!  Let’s get down to it and let me introduce to you my new freezer friend, Lemon and Coconut Ice Cream Sandwiches.

Lemon and Coconut Ice Cream Sandwiches

In this month’s Nature Box I got little lemon meringue waffle cookies and the only thing I could think of was making mini ice cream sandwiches with them.  When I read the label of the package it said 1 serving for 22 cookies, but to my happiness it was two servings so I got 44 cookies in them instead of 22, so that means I made 22 ice cream sandwiches!  Yah!  The more the merrier I always say.  I also did calculate as two servings, since I know the label had to be incorrect.

Nature Box


So what do I use to make ice cream? Well, I could have used ice cream, but instead I was thinking lemon meringue cookies, so I decided to whip up my handy-dandy chilled full fat coconut milk.  Remember a few weeks ago I used coconut milk to make Strawberry Cream Mousse?  I used the same concept and made ice cream with it.  Since the coconut milk is full fat, I knew it wouldn’t freeze rock solid.  By the way, I over calculated the Strawberry Cream Mousse by 50 calories.  So it’s less!  Double yah!!   The coconut ice cream came together perfectly!  The flavor mixed with the lemon cookies is simply perfect!!   It’s very light tasting, but you must like coconut to enjoy these treats!

Lemon and Coconut Ice Cream Sandwiches

If you don’t have lemon waffle cookies, don’t worry you can use any kind of little cookie you like.  I do know Trader Joe’s sells Lemon Thin Cookies and they are pretty darn good tasting.  I bet they would work great in this recipe!!  Also Whole Foods sells Lemon Wafer Cookies, or if you can’t find them, I am sure Vanilla Wafers will do in a pinch!

Lemon and Coconut Ice Cream Sandwiches

The whole recipe doesn’t take very long to make.  As I stated above I used full fat coconut, chilled it in the can in the refrigerator for 24 hours.  Then I scooped out the coconut meat, placed it in my stand mixer and beat it until it was light and creamy, like whip cream.  I added a tad pinch of stevia and vanilla extract.  I placed about a tablespoon on to each cookie, and put it on a cookie sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes.  The quick freeze makes it easy for storage.  I then placed my cookies in a freezer safe container, with parchment paper between the cookies.  Then I can grab a little cookie when the craving hit!  Oh, I almost forgot, if you have leftover, coconut cream, like I did, just place it in the fridge and use for something else, like dipping strawberries in it or putting some on you dessert, coffee or smoothie.  Use it as you would whip cream.

Lemon Coconut Ice Cream Sandwiches

The ice cream sandwiches are not rock hard, but if you really like it softer, I recommend leaving the cookie out on the counter for about 5 minutes.  Then it is absolutely perfect!   The flavor of the cookies have a wonderful lemon flavor when you bite into them and then you get the rich coconut flavor and ending again with lemon.  Lemon and coconut make a nice flavor combination.  If your feeling really fancy and want to display your cookies for serving.  I recommend a nice strawberry or blueberry syrup to drizzle over the top.  I can only imagine how wonderful that would taste.  I should have done that, but sometimes these ideas don’t come to me, until I start writing.  I hate when that happens.  Next time for when I make these ice cream sandwiches again!

A light mini ice cream sandwich made with lemon wafer cookies and coconut cream.
Serves: 22
Ingredients
  • 1 14oz can Coconut Cream Coconut Milk (just the meat of the coconut, not any of the juice)
  • ¼ tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. stevia (to taste)
  • 44 Lemon Meringue Waffle Cookies or a thin small lemon cookie
Instructions
  1. Refrigerate 1 can of full fat coconut milk for 24 - 48 hours, do not shake the can.
  2. Line a small baking sheet or flat plate with parchment paper; set a side.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, scoop out just the cream of the coconut milk; do not use the juice and beat until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract, and stevia; beat until incorporated.
  4. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the coconut cream onto cookie. Top cookie with another cookie to make a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies.
  5. Place cookie on prepared baking sheet and place in the freezer for at least two hours. Once frozen, I stored my sandwiches in a freezer container with parchment between the ice cream sandwiches.
Notes
Calories per sandwich: 41.9, Fat: 3, Cholesterol: 0, Sodium: 24, Potassium: .09, Carbs: 2.5, Fiber: 0, Sugar: 1.1, Protein: .07

Please note: I estimated the calories, since I had about ⅓ of my coconut mixture left and about ¼ cup juice at the bottom of the can. I think my calories may be a tad higher then what they actually are.

Lemon and Coconut Ice Cream Sandwiches

That’s it for me today!  Time for me to whip another recipe!  I got a good one brewing in my head, but I need to run to the store to get ingredients.  I also wanted to remind you, don’t forget to enter my giveaway.  I’ll be picking my winner this evening, and by the way I have another giveaway coming up very soon!!

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  Just in case, I wanted to share the link for you to Nature Box in case you would like a subscription.  It’s $19.99 a month and that includes shipping, plus you get $10.00 off your first order, just tell them I sent ya, you can cancel anytime.  Plus the newest thing they have now, is that you can choose what to put in your box.  Me, personally I like to be surprised every month, however, they have these silly carrot chips, which sound weird, but are so good!  I think I am going to get them and the ranch peas next month!!  Here’s the link if your interested.

    I’m curious if it would work out with oat cookies.

      Hi Marta, I don’t see why not! I honestly think just about any kind of cookie you like should work out, as along as you think it will go with coconut and i think coconut and oatmeal make a great combination. Have a great day!!

Happy Thursday! Don’t you just love spring and E Happy Thursday! Don’t you just love spring and Easter? I’m sure going to miss styling with bunnies, eggs and carrots. It seems Easter is early this year. I have no clue how I will decorate after Easter? I may just keep my decor up past the holiday?
🐇
I’m sharing with you my new centerpiece on my dining room table. It has a peach theme to match with my carrot cart. The beautiful white trays are from my friends at @feltcreativehome. I staggered the smaller tray onto the big tray by putting some candles under it. I think it looks pretty cool this way. You will be seeing these trays again as they are the perfect size for styling my decor. The trays come in a set of two. You can find them on Amazon under Felt Creative Home.
🐇
The tea towel is from my friend Alicia @theblessedpeach. The beautiful wooden bunny is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. The ceramic bunnies, candy and glass jars are from Target.

Do you have any plans for Easter?

The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!
